Description
There is a Hydra in every one of you, you just have to believe.BY THE POWERS THAT BE I SHALL
Be lazy and not shade this. SO THERE.
Betcha can't tell I fucking love Okami!
Yes, I'm aware the snowflake that should be around Twi's neck is missing, but I couldn't figure out how to make it look like she wasn't getting stabbed up. And yes, I did consider restylizing the Tundra Beads to fit her cutie mark 'n' such, but ultimately I decided not to. Yes I know I didn't give them mouths or nostrils, but A) I'm lazy and B) it just made it look weird IMO. Nomouth ponies, awayeyeyey!
Also yes, I know I didn't draw Twi's princess regalia, but I A) forgot she had it and B) was lazy once I remembered. I'm noticing a pattern here...

Drawn primarily in Photoshop CS6 with a Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch. GIMP 2.8 was occasionally used for certain functions (color to alpha, resizing images without a semi-transparent one-pixel border appearing out of nowhere). The Thunder Edge (Luna's Glaive) and Tundra Beads (Twilight's Rosary) were modeled from scratch in Autodesk Inventor; the models were rendered to an image, then traced in Photoshop.

... Are you absolutely sure you're not using a 3D program to model these?
I'm being 100% honest these look like polygon'd models. I'm very impressed and a little envious.

Damn, I knew I forgot something. Yes, I did use Autodesk Inventor to model Luna's Glaive and Twi's Rosary, then screencapped the models to trace in PS. The only other time I've done that for a drawing was for Tavi's Spiral Swords.

I'm too neurotic about things like these to not do it. If I just sit there and guess, it never ever looks right or ever gets to a point where it's at least acceptable.
